Black Temple Raid, Burning Crusade Dungeon Timewalking Oct. 17-24
by Magistrate - 8 years ago show comments
Burning Crusade Timewalking has arrived again, letting players delve into both dungeons from the iconic expansion as well as the Black Temple raid. The event runs October 17 through 24.
Why Run Black Temple Timewalking?
- Loot gear from bosses on par with current content, with tier 6 gear beginning at ilevel 915.
- If you already have the Warglaives of Azzinoth on any of your characters, kill Illidan on the Timewalking difficulty to unlock the transmog version for all of your Demon Hunters: Arsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth.
- Other items include notable weapons (and their transmog), pets for Raiding with Leashes III: Drinkin’ from the Sunwell, and Music Roll: The Burning Legion (if you still hop over to your Garrison).
- For more, see Wowhead’s loot guide and instance guide.
Why Run Burning Crusade Timewalking Dungeons?
- Acquire Timewarped Badges to purchase heirlooms, mounts, toys, reputation tokens, gear, recipes, and transmog (for a comprehensive list, see Wowhead’s guide). This currency can be used during any future Timewalking event, and it doesn’t reset between events.
- A chance at the Reins of the Infinite Timereaver from any Timewalking instance boss kill.
- Complete A Burning Path through Time (5 Timewalking dungeons), which awards:
- Cache of Fel Treasures: has a chance to contain current raid-level gear, excluding tier pieces, and with a chance to Titanforge. This varies based on the highest difficulty clearing you’ve done for the given raid. If you haven’t done Tomb of Sargeras at all, you will get 885-895 LFR gear. Normal: 900-915, Heroic: 915-925, and Mythic: 930-940.
- Accolade of Victory: a boost to your artifact power.
- Seal of Broken Fate: another roll chance on current instance bosses.
Illidan Awaits
Head to Outland to face Illidan and his cohorts once more in The Black Temple!
The Black Temple raid is available throughout the Burning Crusade Timewalking event. The difficulty is set to Normal and, like any Normal-level raid, will not be available through Raid Finder. To take on this challenge, you’ll need to get your guild or a group of friends together, or head to Group Finder > Premade Groups. The raid scales for your group size (between 10 — 30 players) and your level and gear will be scaled back to match the raid’s challenges.
Want to relive the time you first defeated Teron Gorefiend? Face (face, face) the Reliquary of Souls once more? Witness the showdown between Maiev and Illidan before the final fight? Now’s your chance. Inside you can earn transmog sets, the pets you need for Raiding With Leashes III, a Music Roll: The Burning Legion, and gear drops of ilvl 900. And for Demon Hunters, there’s the enticing possibility of obtaining the legendary Warglaives of Azzinoth. Are you, this time, prepared?
Dungeons in The Burning Crusade Timewalking
All week, open Group Finder (default hotkey: i) and then select Dungeon Finder and Timewalking in the Type dropdown. When you hit ‘Find Group’, you’ll be matched up with other players and sent to one of the following Heroic dungeons:
- The Arcatraz
- The Black Morass
- Magister’s Terrace
- Mana-Tombs
- Shattered Halls
- The Slave Pens
Your character and items will be scaled down to a power level fitting for the challenge at hand, but bosses will yield loot appropriate for your natural level. Timewalking dungeons also have a chance to drop items that usually drop when you run them on Heroic, and you’ll earn reputation with a faction that is interested in the dungeon. For example, when you Timewalk through The Slave Pens, you’ll earn reputation with the Cenarion Expedition, which could open access to purchasing the Cenarion War Hippogryph mount.
Look for the following all week long:
- Archmage Timear near Violet Hold in Dalaran has a quest for you. Or, if you forget to pick it up there, you can start it from within the Adventure Journal.
- Quest requirement: Complete 5 Timewalking dungeons.
- Rewards: One Seal of Broken Fate and one loot box containing a piece of gear from Normal difficulty Tomb of Sargeras.
